I've got a scene with 100 shrubs in it. I placed the actual geo of the plants first. Now the scene is very sluggish so I'm thinking about replacing them with vray proxies.
I have a couple questions about that though.
1. There are only three plants. Each appears about 33 times in the scene. Would it be quick to take all the instance of plant #1 and replace each instance of the plant with the same vray proxy file, then do the same for plant #2 and #3? Or should I just select all the plants together and create one vray proxy for everything?
2. If I wanted to replace all of a specific plant in my scene with a vray proxy, is there an easy way to do that in bullk so that it will replace each plant with a proxy and match the plants position, rotation and scale? I tried maya's "replace object" tool and it didn't seem to work, at least with vray proxies.
3. We were having a discussion in the office here. Do vray proxies speed up the render? Or is it only fox optimizing scene/viewport performance? I googled that same question and got conflicting answers. Some said yes, it speeds up the render. Others said no. Still others said it will actually slow down the render. What's the verdict from chaos group?
Thanks!
